Surfing Time–Motion Characteristics Possible to Gain Using Global Navigation Satellite Systems: A Systematic Review [PDF]
The popularity of surfing has increased exponentially, reaching its recent debut in the Olympic Games. However, surfing suffers from a relative immature technological market, while in other sports some technologies such as global navigation satellite ...

Modeling and time domain simulation of surf-riding for water-jet propelled ships
ObjectivesSurf-riding/broaching is one of the five stability failure modes included in the second generation intact stability criteria by IMO. The current regulation is limited by only applying to ships using propellers. To address this issue, this paper

An Investigation about Stability in Waves of Large Pleasure Yachts
The IMO’s second-generation intact stability criteria (SGISc) have been applied to a set of seven megayacht units ranging from 40 m to 80 m. The application aims to evaluate their stability performance in a seaway.

Surfing on Fitness Landscapes: A Boost on Optimization by Fourier Surrogate Modeling
Surfing in rough waters is not always as fun as wave riding the “big one”. Similarly, in optimization problems, fitness landscapes with a huge number of local optima make the search for the global optimum a hard and generally annoying game ...

Magnetars in the Metagalaxy: An Origin for Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays in the Nearby Universe [PDF]
I show that the relativistic winds of newly born magnetars with khz initial spin rates, occurring in all normal galaxies, can accelerate ultrarelativistic light ions with an E^{-1} injection spectrum, steepening to E^{-2} at higher energies, with an ...

On the mitigation of surf-riding by adjusting center of buoyancy in design stage
High-speed vessels are prone to the surf-riding in adverse quartering seas. The possibility of mitigating the surf-riding of the ITTC A2 fishing vessel in the design stage is investigated using the 6-DOF weakly non-linear model developed for surf-riding ...
